Kingsman Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Without closing my account and opening a new one, that is. I know my user name is grammatically incorrect for German. Das Abteilung should be Die Abteilung (The Unit - as in the TV series): I was badly advised....................... But Die doesn't really work in English as part of a user name. So I was thinking that perhaps I ought to get round to changing it. But how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's generally a good plan to check if it's in use first, and even if you don't find your new name during a member search, offer up a 2nd choice anyway so we don't have to keep coming back to you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder if that was the so called Mandela Effect in action. Berenstein, Berenstain, Martin, Martian.. Thanks for that - solved a year or two long minor mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - solved a year or two long minor mystery There's a short and not very interesting story behind that, and initially Martian tried to make out I'd done it as a mickey-take during his Haunebu phase, but he actually PMd me to make the request to be officially known a Martian, so he's had to stop playing the victim card now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not one, but two things I've learned today - I'll call it a success 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question was can I do it myself. From the response I presume not. If you need to do it for me then I'd think of a new handle and PM you. It will make the older threads confusing.........

Hi, yes its only a MOD thing to change the name, or as you said it could become confusing if people change all the time, If/when you want to change just let us know, Thx Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
